I really want a multipla but finding it impossible to find a decent second hand one, so looking reluctantly at the Zafira or maybe the honda frv...

Honda

Have to say I can really recommend the Multipla. I am a nervous driver but I really liked the high driving position, and the flexibility of the Multipla. We've been driving a (company car) Prius for the last year though - very economical and a low tax bracket

I have had a multipla and an FRV , hated the Honda to drive and it was so much less versatile than the fiat.

honda - more reliable engines.

have a zafira, loads of bootspace, for eg can fit a childs wheelchair without folding plus a pram folded up and shopping

converts to 7 seater which is good for the size of my family

I was keen on a Zafira but my friend got one and complained there was no leg room in the back. Do you think that's true as I'm still tempted (and her family are a bit on the large side).

Love my multipla. Easy to hoover but lacks boot space.

Shame you weren't looking last year Enid, we sold ours on Ebay in October - I suppose you have looked there? It was a great car, can't say I hoovered it very often though Grin

Friend has got an FRV - not keen on it as it seems no wider than their previous MPV (renault megane scenic). And I've noticed that they never drive it with the middle front seat in place - always folded down.... due to lack of elbow room. So, it just becomes a pretty standard 5 - seater anyway! Honda engines are good though Grin

I had a zafira and loved it. Needed something bigger though so got a galaxy!
I loved the folding back seats so quick and easy!
